I drove up to Chicago last night to catch part of Yearly Kos, and met Jill Filipovic and Amanda Marcotte finally after multiple years of online contact. Jill snuck me into a panel Amanda and Jessica Valenti were on called “Blogging While Female” and then got me an attendance bracelet to get into the Hillary Clinton town hall meeting. Not bad, eh?
Amanda and Jill also let me crash in their room last night, which led me to a few revelations: 1) I should not drink coffee at night; 2) When making a trip out of town, bring more than your person and an extra t-shirt; 3) All three of us are still very into potty humor.
More later when I can slough off the sleepiness.
So you finally managed to meet your co-bloggers (ok, one of them is a former co-blogger). Congratulations.
It was, dare I say, w00tness.
Next time all of you should have a panel, and get Melissa McEwan to join in. I would love to listen to that.
i would have loved to listen to the hotel room afterwards.
Now I am even more sad than I was that I didn’t quite muster up the energy to make it to that panel.
